Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Coconut milk (full-fat, canned, refrigerated overnight)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Optional: Almond extract or other flavoring
Instructions
1. Refrigerate the can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. This step solidifies the coconut cream, which separates from the liquid.
2. Just before starting, chill a mixing bowl and beaters (or the whisk attachment of your stand mixer) in the freezer for 10 minutes. This ensures that your ingredients will stay cool while whipping.
3. Carefully open the can of chilled coconut milk. Scoop out the solidified coconut cream, leaving behind the liquid (which can be reserved for smoothies or other recipes).
4. Place the solid coconut cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
5. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed, whip the coconut cream for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
6. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. If desired, add almond extract or another flavoring. Continue whipping for another 1-2 minutes until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the whipped cream reaches your preferred texture.
7. Taste and adjust sweetness or flavoring if desired.
8. Serve immediately as a topping for desserts, hot chocolate, or fruit. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (though it may firm up and need re-whisking).
